One of the key debates in the Montpelier statehouse this session is over the future of energy and climate policy.

Gov. Phil Scott wants to roll back some of Vermont’s key climate laws, arguing they are too costly to implement. Lawmakers are debating whether to stay the course on climate action. ¿ªÔÆÌåÓý’s Peter Hirschfeld breaks down this debate over the Global Warming Solutions Act. He also looks at how legislators are preparing for Town Meeting Day and navigating uncertainty around federal funding.

Broadcast live on Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2025, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
